What Does the Tea Party Stand For?

July 18th, 2010

Is the tea party racist?
Do they support ending social security?
Will Republicans endorse these views?

    Of course Chariaman NObama`s a Socialist, no question. Along the same theme, per your FoxNews interview with Kevin James, if you said that all who pay into Socialist Insecurity will get benefits, please set the record straight. FICA payers who don`t live to collect any Socialist Insecurity benefits, or have no eligible survivors, lose their `contributions` to the government.
    If I misstated your position, I stand corrected.

    Ah, Harry, ya caught me.

    You’re absolutely right that if you die and leave no survivors, you can’t get your social security benefits. But you know what’s great about the policy? No dead person has ever once complained about losing benefits!

    I suppose if we did it your way, we could throw a bunch of cash in the grave and emulate the Egyptian Pharoahs. Crazy enough as it may appear to you, I actually prefer that money go to the aged, the disabled, or a sickly child rather than a corpse.
